It makes sense that Donkey Kong fuels his Bonanza mode with banana energy, but he generates

banana energy primarily by collecting gold.

Welcome to Triple Click, where we bring the games to you.

This week we're opening the mailbag to tackle your questions about fancasting Jason's

new book, AI tools in game

development, our favorite made-up video game words, and so much more. Stick around.

I'm Kirk Hamilton. I'm Maddie Myers. And I'm Jason Shrier. Hello. Hello. We're back for another episode. It's question time. You guys ready for some questions. I love questions. I am ready for some questions. And for the first question, you might be wondering, can you support triple click in some way?

That has always been. Yeah, that's always been my burning question. Yeah. Yes, it's the most burning questionable. It's burning at the hottest temperature. How could you possibly support triple click if you wanted to? And the answer to that is, well, you could become a member. That's one way. Become a member of Maximum Fun. We are a 100% listener-supported show. We make this show purely with all of your support. So maximumfund.org slash join. That lets you become a member of our network, support maximum funds, support triple-click, and get access to monthly bonus episodes that we put out. There's a ton of them now, because we've been around for a long time. You could also buy some merch. That's another way to support us. And there is a bunch of new merch, a bunch of new designs in the Maximum Fun Store. There's a link for that in the show notes. I know some folks have been ordering things. We've gotten some requests that we're going to fulfill, actually. Someone requested a desk pad or a mouse pad, and we can do that. So that's going to be in the store at some point. maybe by the time you're hearing this, that'll be added to the store. So there's a bunch of great designs, some of the designs we had at our live show. We'll be adding some more later this year, too. So we're beefing up the triple-click merch situation. So by all means, go buy some merch that also supports us. So, yeah, there's two ways that you can support triple-click. And thank you so much

to everyone who does so, because really, you're the reason we make this show. You're the reason

we're able to keep this thing going. So thanks so much to all of the maximum fun members out there

listening. And all right, let's get into some more questions. We've answered the first most

important question. Jason, let's, why don't you take us away for some additional questions? Yeah, this week we are answering

some of your questions. As always, these are questions that are coming straight to our inbox

at triple click at maximum fun.org. So that's where you can mail us your own questions. And as

always, keep them short, keep them interesting.

Don't ask questions that people have asked before, et cetera, et cetera.

You guys know the rules.

Let's get into it.

Maddie, why don't you read this first one?

Sure. So this one's from Elias, who writes,

A question occurred to me while listening to your recent episode on Donkey Kong Bonanza.

What is the ideal skill level of a game reviewer?
